| Bob Dylan – Man in the Long Black Coat Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I found out my own interpretation throgh this paragraph : "He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved, You cannot depend on it to be your guide When it's you who must keep it satisfied. It ain't easy to swallow, it sticks in the throat.... " The man in the long black coat renounces to his own conscience ("cannot depend on it to be your guide" ), because he saw in himself, like in others, "vileness and depravation". It´s hard to accept that truth for the young ( innocent) woman, but she goes with him, with the man that doubt. There is some resignation when she goes, but also some kind of kidnapping, she left no "note even a note", not enthusiasm to go with him... For me, the man in the long black coat and the young ( innocent) woman are, both the same person: Robert Zimmerman, he and his soul. Two aspects: the innocent soul - and the slynees soul contaminate for the world. Robert Zimmermann had always a mask to protect himself "he had a face like a mask" that´s why his lyrics have always a secret to reveal; a Robert Zimmermann behind Bob Dylan.
